 Drivers waiting to leave Crimea in a long traffic jam said they were clam and would come back to the region a day after an attack on the Crimean bridge that Russia blamed on Ukraine. Speaking to Reuters on July 18 the Russian tourists said their departure today from the peninsula had been pre-planned and they were not leaving early because of Monday's incident in which part of the bridge structure was damaged. The tourists who spoke to Reuters said they had been waiting up to one five hours in Tuesday's traffic queue. The incident has complicated plans for Russian tourists for whom Crimea is traditionally a major destination. State media on Monday broadcast images of long traffic jams as Russian tourists dashed home by driving through parts of southern Ukraine controlled by Russian forces. Partial road traffic opened on one lane of the Crimean bridge late on Monday. The plan of departure was planned to leave yesterday, but the communication with the situation decided to stay overnight to wait for the situation to stabilize and leave safely. Here we are standing and that's it. How long have you been standing here? 50 minutes. 50 minutes. Tell me, and in the next year, not taking into account what is happening in Crimea, various attacks and so on, are you planning to come? We will definitely come. You mean there is no fear? No. We have always been driving for 20 years. How are you? We will definitely come and get out easier than it was to drive. Why? We drove for 7 hours, and now we are standing for 30 minutes.
